I really recomend this book to everyone. It has helped me understand more about this whole process and understand what Matia is doing . it's an easy read and not expesive about 10. IF you google it you can read a lot of the book on google books but they remove some of the pages.  I love this book and I didn't realize how much till I started some reserch in digestion and came across this book online and was struck when i realized it's on my shelf I will be diving back into it. Ayurveda is all about digestion and that seems to be big but what else is this book discribes properties of the herbs and really makes it easy to  understand. Books like this help me to understand the disertation even though it's not Chinese Med it still goes by simalar principles. I have a feeling I will be getting both degrees in my future.
